Figure P36.95 shows a thin converging lens for which the radii of curvature of its surfaces have magnitudes of 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm. The lens is in front of a concave spherical mirror with the radius of curvature R = 8.00 cm. Assume the focal points F1 and F2 of the lens are 5.00 cm from the center of the lens, (a) Determine the index of refraction of the lens material. The lens and mirror are 20.0 cm apart, and an object is placed 8.00 cm to the left of the lens. Determine (b) the position of the filial image and (c) its magnification as seen by the eye in the figure. (d) Is the final image inverted or upright? Explain.
(a)

The index of refraction of the lens material.
Answer to Problem 36.95CP
The index of refraction of the lens material is 1.99.
Explanation of Solution
Given data: The radii of curvature for the converging Len’s surfaces are 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm, the radius of curvature of the mirror is 8.00 cm and the distance between the focal points F1 and F2 is 5.00 cm, the distance between the lens and mirror is 20.0 cm and the object distance for the lens is 8.00 cm.
Write the expression for the focal length of the lens,
1f1=(n−1)(1R1−1R2)
Here,
n is the refractive index.
R1 is the initial radius of curvature.
R2 is the final radius of curvature.
Substitute 5.00 cm for f1, 9.00 cm for R1 and −11.0 cm for R2 in above expression.
15.00 cm=(n−1)(19.00 cm−1(−11.0 cm))(n−1)=0.99n=1.99
Conclusion:
Therefore the index of refraction of the lens material is 1.99.
(b)

The position of the final image.
Answer to Problem 36.95CP
The position of the final image is 10.0 cm to the left of the lens.
Explanation of Solution
Given data: The radii of curvature for the converging Len’s surfaces are 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm, the radius of curvature of the mirror is 8.00 cm and the distance between the focal points F1 and F2 is 5.00 cm, the distance between the lens and mirror is 20.0 cm and the object distance for the lens is 8.00 cm.
The expression for the focal length is,
f2=R2
Here,
R is the radius.
Substitute 8.00 cm for R in above expression.
f2=8 cm2=4 cm
Thus the focal length is 4 cm.
The expression for the lens equation is,
1p1+1q1=1f1
Here,
q1 is the image distance.
p1 is the object distance.
f1 is the focal length.
Substitute 5.00 cm for f1 and 8.00 cm for p1 in above expression.
18.00 cm+1q1=15.00 cmq1=13.33 cm
Thus the image distance from the lens is 13.33 cm.
The expression for the object distance for mirror is,
p2=d−q1
Here,
d is the distance between the lens and mirror.
Substitute 13.33 cm for q1 and 20.0 cm for d in above expression.
p2=20.0 cm−13.33 cm=6.67 cm
Thus the object distance for mirror is 6.67 cm.
The expression for the mirror equation is,
1p2+1q2=1f2
Here,
q2 is the image distance for mirror.
p2 is the object distance for mirror.
f2 is the focal length for mirror.
Substitute 4.00 cm for f2 and 6.67 cm for p2 in above expression.
16.67 cm+1q2=14.00 cmq2=10.0 cm
Thus the image distance from the mirror is 10.0 cm.
The expression for the object distance for lens is,
p3=d−q2
Substitute 10.0 cm for q2 and 20.0 cm for d in above expression.
p2=20.0 cm−10.0 cm=10 cm
Thus the object distance for lens is 10.0 cm.
The expression for the lens equation is,
1p3+1q3=1f3
Here,
q3 is the image distance for lens.
p3 is the object distance for lens.
f3 is the focal length for lens.
Substitute 5.00 cm for f3 and 10.0 cm for p3 in above expression.
110.0 cm+1q3=15.00 cmq3=10.0 cm
Conclusion:
Therefore the position of the final image is 10.0 cm to the left of the lens.
(c)

The magnification as seen by the eye in the figure.
Answer to Problem 36.95CP
The magnification as seen by the eye in the figure is −2.50.
Explanation of Solution
Given data: The radii of curvature for the converging Len’s surfaces are 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm, the radius of curvature of the mirror is 8.00 cm and the distance between the focal points F1 and F2 is 5.00 cm, the distance between the lens and mirror is 20.0 cm and the object distance for the lens is 8.00 cm.
The overall magnification factor is,
M=(−q1p1)(−q2p2)(−q3p3)
Substitute 13.33 cm for q1, 8.0 cm for p1, 10.0 cm for q2, 6.67 cm for p2, 10.0 cm for q3 and 10.0 cm for p3 in above expression.
M=(−13.33 cm8.0 cm)(−10 cm6.67 cm)(−10 cm10 cm)=−2.50
Conclusion:
Therefore the magnification as seen by the eye in the figure is −2.50.
(d)

Whether the final image is inverted or upright.
Answer to Problem 36.95CP
The final image is inverted.
Explanation of Solution
Given data: The radii of curvature for the converging Len’s surfaces are 9.00 cm and 11.0 cm, the radius of curvature of the mirror is 8.00 cm and the distance between the focal points F1 and F2 is 5.00 cm, the distance between the lens and mirror is 20.0 cm and the object distance for the lens is 8.00 cm.
From part (c) of the question the value of the magnification factor is,
M=−2.50
It is known that the image will be upright when the magnification factor is positive and the image will be inverted when the magnification factor is negative.
Since the magnification factor is negative so the image will be upright.
Conclusion:
Therefore the final image is inverted.
